I Remember - playField.
How many memories do we share with each other? Is there such a thing as collective memory? How (un) reliable are our memories?
In I Remember playField delves into the mysterious world of human memory. Trying to understand memory is like a child trying to figure out how the light of the refrigerator works; just as you almost see it, the door closes.Based on this amazement, playField explores together with the audience how impressionable our memory can be, how easily our colored memories transform further into total fiction. But also how memories can connect us. How shared memories shape culture.Five performers are on the floor: 5 perspectives. They each bring a mantra of memories, their own history. The memories sound familiar, as if they were the memories of the audience. Histories are slowly being erased, changed, invented. Personal histories change hands, are juxtaposed, collide or converge. The five actors become more people than just themselves. They become the audience, the audience becomes an actor, and together they become all of us.In I Remember, the spectator determines which memories should be remembered and which memories should be forgotten and thus contributes to the scenario of a performance that in itself becomes a collective memory.
